About us

Curious what we do? Check our Instagram ♥️

Are you a filmmaker or want to become one?
Would you like to meet fellow movie enthusiasts?
Then this might be the place you should come to.

This group is for all people who what to start creating movies:

Writers
Directors
VFXers
Actors
Editor
Graders
Gaffers
DOPs / photographers

We're an international bunch of film enthusiasts, primarily based in Berlin, with different backgrounds who want to make short movies together. The levels of experience across the group differ from people who have never stepped foot on a film set to people who have already worked in the industry for decades.

Maybe you can act, write a script, record audio, tell a story like no one else, color-grade a movie to look amazing, produce, organize a crazy collective like us, host a film crew at your flat, know amazing locations... you are all welcome.

Roles vary across projects. A director might try sound recording... a make-up artist may like to try acting. Anything is possible.

We meet every Sunday at 17:00 at Workish, Harzer Straße 69, Berlin.

You can check out our website.

UPDATE: Since we have to start paying for our location, we need support from the community. We decided to start a monthly contribution of 15€ (10€ discounted) to be able to pay the location and the create of an non-profit association (gemeinnütziger Verein).
Of course you can come and check out the meetup before deciding if you want to join.

Screenwriting Focus Group | Filmmakers & Movie Nerds
Sun, Sep 20 · 3:00 PM CEST
workish.berlin - Coworking Neukölln, Harzer Str. 39, Berlin, BE, DE
🎬 Screenwriters' Meetup Invitation 🎬

This meetup is for anyone passionate about storytelling—whether you’re a screenwriter, filmmaker, producer, or someone with a great idea looking for the right collaborators. Whether you’re just starting out or deep into your screenplay, this is the perfect space to create, collaborate, and refine your work.

When You Bring Your Screenplay, Think About Three Key Ingredients:

Your Main Character – Who are they? What drives them?

The Central Conflict – What’s at stake? What’s standing in their way?

The Theme – What’s the deeper idea that motivates you to tell this story?

If you’re struggling to find a theme, define your character, or establish a strong conflict—don’t worry. That’s exactly what this meetup is for. We’re here to help you uncover the core of your story and give you the tools to develop it further.

Already have an elaborate story? Great! Reflect on these elements:

Compelling Characters – Are they layered, dynamic, and memorable?

Inner Conflicts, Interpersonal Tensions, and Global Stakes – Does your story operate on multiple levels?

A Strong, Personal Theme – Does your theme resonate with you and give your story purpose?

If you can identify these elements, we can dive even deeper and give you focused, constructive feedback to help your screenplay reach its full potential.

Bring your ideas, your drafts, and your passion. Let’s collaborate, challenge each other, and create stories that matter. We can’t wait to see you there!

Would you like to meet some like-minded filmmakers? Start a project? Or do you need help with a movie you are currently working on? Are you new in the city and you'd like to meet people tinkering with movies?

Then you should join us!

We meet every Sunday. It’s important to us that we get to know each other in person. To create a community of connected people, work, learn and grow together. For film making you need a crew of reliable people with a positive can-do-attitude. This is the place to find them.

Together, we will talk about these topics:
- What you are currently working on
- What you need help with
- What would you like to help with
- What you you would like to learn
This is event is great for:
- filmmakers
- movie nerds
- writers
- camera operators
- editors
- actors
- sound recorders
- composers
- gaffers
- producers
We are limiting the amount of people, so we can have a structured introduction and discussion. After that we get together loosely with some drinks and chats. And then we mostly go for dinner with a couple of us.

Important information:
1. To sustain and grow this amazing community, we started a member contribution that is due every month. The money we collect is used solely for the purpose of the community. Of course you can come once or twice without contributing to check us out!
2. This event may be photographed and filmed by us. By attending, you agree that you may appear in photo or video material used for our content and communication.
